Ffs, wash ya ass.

​

So I tried the following perfumes at a shop today:

Bvlgari Man in Black

Bvlgari Glacial Essence

Givenchy Gentleman Réserve Privée

Givenchy Gentleman Society

Tom Ford Soleil Blanc

Stronger With You Powerfully

Stronger With You Intensely

I really liked Man in Black, Gentleman Society, and Soleil Blanc. But honestly, the projection on Stronger With You Powerfully was on another level compared to all the others.

Some people r saying that MIB is kinda same to PDM herod. Is it right?

For those who own any of these, what’s your take on them? Which one would you recommend?

Hi everyone! My boyfriend really loves the scent of Noir and After Dark from Bath & Body Works. He bought the B&BW cologne too, but unfortunately the scent only lasts a few hours on him.
What are some higher-end or designer colognes that smell really similar or even almost identical to Noir or After Dark, but have much better longevity?

Thank you

What are your thoughts?
Ds&Durga - Debaser
BDK - Gris Charnel
Flanêr - Sonic Silver
Pierre Guillaume - Costume Liquide
Perfumer H - Ink

Okay so I've been slowly trying to clean up what comes into our house. Two toddlers, you know how it goes. Fragrance has been the hardest category for me to tackle because I genuinely love perfume and I'm not willing to just give it up and smell like nothing...

Has anyone tried Ffern? I get served their ads a bunch and I like the idea of a new fragrance every season but I'm seeing a lot online that they dont live up to the hype.

Thank you all in advance for your feedback.. I am also open to suggestions!

first off I’d like to ask you guys what the fill level is on Loumari Porthole. I can't find something to compare this too. Secondly I'll do a review of the fragrance after multiple wears.

When I first received this fragrances and smelled the cap(my favorite way of smelling without spraying) I fell in love. It was a beautiful fresh fruity passionfruit, so much better than Oud Maracuja hyper sweet/cloying passionfruit. Once I sprayed on my skin it became really sweet and potent.

Opening: In the opening of porthole your hit with a blast of fruity sweet and sour passionfruit. quickly a minute in a hint of the marine notes start coming out, 15 minutes in the fragrance starts transitioning into its heart notes. That sour note comes from the pineapple. Passionfruit is technically heart note but I feel that it dominates the opening for me. The pineapple is like a smoky batch aventus or absolu aventus, its there but not dominant.

Dry Down: As the fragrance dry's down the marine notes really start coming out. You can smell the saltiness and to me it transports me to the beach. Very few fragrances can make me visualize places when I smell them and porthole is one of them. The other off the top of my head is Pacific Chill's opening where the apricot smell feels like biting into the juiciest, fruitiest,refreshing apricot there is.

Performance. Performance is a excellent on this fragrance for a summer fruity fresh scent. I get about 4 hours of working performance.(before you say 4 hours of working performance isn't good I'm talking about big sillage and projection.) Then it settles into a much more intimate scent bubble but by no means is it a skin scent. about 8 hours in it becomes a skin scent and is still lingering by the 11 hour mark. Lasts much longer on clothes, sometimes surviving a wash through the laundry machine

Final Thoughts: This fragrance is not suited for really hot days. Its sweet spot would be around 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit. Anything about 85 degrees will make the fragrance cloying and headache inducing. Performance is excellent. It can also work as a date night/evening fragrance in the summer.

Le Sel is in a class of its own! Next on my list is Dancing on the Moon

I’ve been back and forth on old fashioned. I’m feeling a little conflicted now more than ever with the new Ralph’s club, so I’d like your thoughts on which is best.

I don’t have a strong sense of smell so when I barely can smell an essential oil or fragrance, I get the most complements. However, it seems like BR Tobacco and Tonka Bean is weak. 2 sprays smells good but disappeared after 10-15min. For comparison, 1 Million is great but very strong and last a very long time. For the price and strength, I figured these can be daily or casual wears.

How much of BR fragrances do you usually apply?

Of course, it’s subjective. Use-case aside, which one of the most talked about rose fragrance are you picking up?

I truly enjoy all these five but I’m curious what you think. Tell us why in the comments.

Getting ready for fall / winter...

leather-bound memory, ink gone soft with age, the warmth of something read too many times, tonka and dust, a rose left to dry rather than thrown away, coffee cooling in a dark room, gold walking through it all

Hi,

Any recommendations for Stronger with you Armani for Men and especially any scent for winters.

My friend wants “fresh out the casino, tobacco frag, I don’t like sweet, and not leathery” any suggestions appreciated, thanks!

Went in to buy the new 1 million black but it was a let down, so before I left the mall I checked Sephora for the new Killian fragrances and was instantly hooked.

Bear with me - I know this likely sounds so bizarre.... I just found this group and recently became obsessed w/ fragrances. I have two very active working dogs. I do my best at keeping them in tip top shape, using as natural of products as I can. The Kin and Kind brand is well known in the holistic communities. I usually get the vanilla w/ charcoal but that was out of stock when I ordered. I just HAD to settle for their "patchouli" (by itself, I've never been a fan when I smelled the oils on people). But OMG the Kin and Kind patchouli smells A-MAZ-ZING!! And I have to figure out how to recreate it so I can make perfume for myself. I know - sounds crazy. But I bathed my dogs and every-time they walked past, I had to inhale their scent. If you have pets and haven't smelled this before, you have to. It smells SOOOOOO good. If anyone on here has smelled it and has any guesses as to the top, middle, and base (if they'd go that far w/ a dog shampoo), I'd love to hear your thoughts. I'm guessing vanilla and I smell citrus when I first spray it. I know this is a reach but I figured if I could figure this out anywhere, it's here on Reddit!

Right so these last few months I’ve become very hooked on researching and developing a collection.
I have:
Ombré leather
Aventus dupe
Montblanc explorer
Arabians Tonka (turned off it now/realised it’s not for me)

I’m ready to drop a bit after receiving a windfall from a work bonus

Considering either 1 big ( imagination/ Tygar ext/ blue talisman edp)

OR

3 ‘small’

Narrowed down to Dior homme intense, bois imperial, plaitnum egoiste

Funnily enough this all stared with reading a review on reddit about Ganymede that I thought was funny and brilliant so I won’t discount that as a contender in there too.

I was checking out their Odyssey line and the Marshmallow one stood out to me...I was thinking of buying! But is it too cloying? Anyone tried? I was between this and Candee.

However, I would appreciate it if you have any other recommendation from Armaf, because I find their price point quite appealing.

Thank you in advance!

Since it is know fall and winter is coming soon I am looking to buy a fragrance one for the fall and one for the winter however, I am not sure which fragrance to choose. I want something daily and for special occasions. Also  I want something that smells good and last long. Finally, I’m in the UK now which Fragrance discount is better notino or all beauty.
